Oregon Daily Emerald VOLUME XXIII. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1921 NUMBER 8 ULL,SHT ANDTEAM WARMLY RECEIVED AT Bit ASSEMBLY First Student Body Meeting of Year Shows Return of Pre-War Pep BUSINESS SESSION HELD New Officers Presented and Reports of the Standing Committees Made Students of the University, with all the old-time fight, gave the varsity football team, and Bill and Shy a roof raising reception in Villard yesterday morning. Bill Hayward, trainer, ad mitted, in his talk at the first student body meeting of the year, that the pre-war pep appears to be here and the Thundering Thousand plus as many more of the second thousand as could squeeze into the hall made things hum. The way in which the students re sponded to the requests of Del Ober teuffer for yells and cheers was a revelation. All available floor space -was occupied. Hood Team Promised ■“We’re going to have a good team,” was what Shy Huntington, varsity football coach, said after his introduc tion by Lyle Bartholomew, A. S. U. O. president. “Shy” is not discouraged over the prospects for this year, as the men are working hard, and only need the backing of the students to make the football season this year a big suc cess. “Get the idea into your heads that Oregon can’t be beat, and we won’t,” he added quickly. Bill Hayward was not quite so opti mistic. “Oregon can be beat, but she can’t be licked,” was his comment. “Bill” feels that this year the students are backing the team far better than they did last year, and that conse quently conditions will be more favor able. He urged that more of the “huskies” that are seen on the campus turn out on the field, and get the “once over” of the coaches. A few of the best men are at present laid up, so new material will be needed constantly to take their places, he pointed out. Basketball Coach Speaks Instructions in the fundamentals of basketball will be given by Coach George Bohler within a week or two, he said yesterday. They will continue for about three weeks, when the doughnut series will begin. Bohler reiterated the old refrain which is applied to every undertaking of the University. Prospects of basketball depend not go much upon the team itself as upon -the students.” “ The students have the old fight -again” was the verdict of Jack Bene fiel, graduate manager, also, who spoke -of the football schedule for this year. -“The schedule is to be regretted, but it was the most honorable one we could get,” he said. He told the students that this homecoming will be the big gest ever, and that what is needed to help “put it across” is some snappy slogans. These may be handed in to Norton Winnard at any time. President Urges Organization President Campbell spoke on the ef forts made by the student body toward efficient organization in the framing of the new constitution. “The secret of success is perfection of organiza tion,” he said, explaining that getting individuals to work together in an organized way is one of the problems of socialization, and that this problem can in a measure be solved by students by their regarding the University as a laboratory which will be of value in community life. “For a minimum expenditure of en ergy there should be a maximum of result,” he said. “A big spirit of friendliness and willingness to do the right thing must lie back of an organi zation to make it effective at all.” In concluding President Campbell urged the students to be open-minded, show a spirit of cooperation, and support the various committees and officers loyally jmd honestly. New Officers Presented Members of the executive council, •the student council, Floyd Maxwell, editor of the Emerald, and Ines King, editor of the Oregana, were formally presented to the new students. They occeupied seats on the platform with the members of the coaching staff, and a few members of the faculty. The regular meeting of the Associated Students of the University of Oregon was called to order by President Bar tholomew. Be ports of the standing committees took up most of the ses sion, and these were followed by various announcements. Art Campbell, chair man of the dance committee, announced that there would be ne student body (Continued on page three) Judge Leaves Bench To Be Oregon Frosh From stamping the seal of the State of Oregon to long legal papers filled with whereases, parties of the second part, etc, to kissing the same seal in front of Villard hall entrance is some drop, and a rather steep one. Bat Thomas Hughes, freshman in pre-law, laid aside his municipal judgeship in Heppner and entered the ■University this fall. Trusting the tying of marriage knots to a judge of freshman age seems a serious matter but Hughes is a good six feet tall and looks cap able of handling any duty which a municipal judge and justice of the peace might be called upon to perform. “The most difficult task of all," said the ex-judge, “was to send an old schoolmate up for time, but then duty is duty,” Sitting at the bench and disposing of the court calendar filled with offenses from speeding to drunk enness was the routine which gave Hughes an experience that might well be envied by law seniors. "When in office Hughes was the youngest judge in the state.

The staff this year is much smaller than in former years. George McIntyre was appointed manager last spring. Margaret Scott and John Dierdorff are to be the associate editors of the book. This is the first time that two associate editors have been appointed. Dierdorff was editor of the feature section of the Oregana last year. Class editors were named as follows: Seniors, Ruth Austin; juniors, Margaret Jackson, and sophomores and fresh men, Luella Hausler. The “Calendar of Campus Events” will be handled by Phil Brogan, well known on the campus as a feature writer. Florence Skinner has charge of all activities, including debate, dramatics and music. Miss Skinner is to appoint her own assistants in these departments, Rosalia Keber is assigned to the section on honorary organizations. Athletics will be covered by Emily Perry and Gene Kelty.

Emily Veazie is the literary editor. Ray Bethers, a new man on the cam pus, and a former student at the Cali fornia Institute of Fine A*rts is to be Art Editor.

George McIntyre, manager, has ap pointed as his assistants A1 Krohn, cir culation manager, and advertising man ager, Dan Woods. ”It is my plan to have each staff member appoint his or her own as sistants,” asserted Miss King. “They know with whom they can work best. I hope to have closer cooperation than in previous years. Thirty five has been the usual number for the Oregana staff. I have reduced this to sixteen, directly responsible to me.” TWO NEOPHYTES AIR VIEWS Humor Artists Carry Sledgehammers To All Their Classes Explosions of pedagreed bunk from the lips of Owen Callaway and Ep. Hoyt, two neophytes of Hammer and Coffin, yesterday morning attracted the attention of the crowds from “Photo” Bead, who was endeavoring to make an all-TJniversity picture. Armed with huge sledge-hammers, the two victims appeared upon the steps of the Oregon building and aired their views to the suffering students. Their outbursts were greeted with profuse groans from the tortured audience. Like convicts on the way to the rock pile, the neophytes carried their sledges to all classes throughout the day, being permitted to deposit them only when they retired for the night. STAFF OF EMERAIO ANNOUNCED; TODEL MADE DEWS EDITOR Freshmen Still Have Chance to Win Berths; Check On Work to Continue HOYT TO HANDLE SPORTS Other Additions To Personnel Will Be Made Known Next Week The first announcement of staff mem bers for the Emerald was made yes terday by Floyd Maxwell, Editor. In making the announcements however, Maxwell declared that the list of staff appointees was far from complete and that further appointments would be made as the reporters and aspirants for staff positions proved their worth. The members for the most part so far are those who held positions on the staff last year and in previous years. Few freshmen have yet earned a place. • “It must be made clear that fresh men will be given an equal opportunity to make good on the staff,” said Max well in announcing the newly made appointments, “and a careful check is being made on their work, with the idea of making the best selections.” Daily Editors Named Kenneth Youel, member of the staff for the past two years, who last year acted as night editor has been ap pointed news editor. Youel will have a staff of four assistants at present who will be known as the Daily News Editors, each of them taking a turn at being held responsible for the qual ity of the news published on the day on which he is assigned to take charge. John Dierdorff, veteran member of the staff, has been appointed Pacific Intercollegiate News Service editor this year. The news service being carried on by the various colleges of the Paci fic Intercollegiate Press Association this year is proving to be highly valu able, and it was felt that the position of editor of this service here was one of importance. Staffs to be Enlarged Edwin Hoyt, member of the staff foj the past two years and last year a sports writer, has been appointed Sports Editor. It is planned to have a larger staff of sport writers this year than in the past and although no further announcements for this department have been made yet, it is expected that there will be some by the middle of next week. Only three Night Editors have so fa? qualified to take charge of the night work id making up the paper and get ting it Oh the presses. Arne Rae, John Anderson and Earle Voorhies are the aspirants who have so far been appointed by Editor Maxwell for these positions, although it is expected to enlarge this staff. News Staff Picked After his appointment yesterday Kenneth Youel announced the names of those who will assist him as Daily News Editors. They are Ruth Austin, Mar (Continued on page four) PHEBE GAGE ELECTED PRESIDENT OF Y. W. A. C. More Than 150 at Meeting Which is Addressed by Dean Fox and Hears Mme.

Move to Give President More Prestige Endorsed by Student Officers FRO-TRA-CO IS BACKED Society of First Year Men To Work This Year On Enlarged Scope By LEITH ABBOTT The freshman presidency is to be made a position of honor. The student council, realizing the evils which have resulted from the fact that through the eye of the campus dur ing the past several ygars the position has been viewed with disparagement, last night passed a resolution to the effect that the presidency should be elevated in the esteem of the student body and that every campus organiza tion allow their best men to aspire to or become a candidate for the' honor. At the same meeting a proposal to recognize Fro-tra-co, honorary fresh man organization, as an official stu dent body organization was considered and plans for a complete reorganiza tion of freshman government were en dorsed. These plans, drafted by a student committee this week, were accepted by President Campbell, Dean Straub and Dean Dyrnent. The action was taken to quiet a tense situation which has threatened to grow out of an unfortun ate rupture of underclass relations last Friday night. Under the plans as ap proved it is thought that the problem will be settled for years to come. Order of O Takes Part Fro-tra-co is to become a four-year organization, with an official badge, and with members taking an inactive role after their freshman year. The organization was promulgated last year, the name meaning “Freshman Tradi tions'Committee.” It consisted of two freshmen from each Greek organiza tion on the campus with throe rep resentatives from Friendly hall and Oregon club. Members of the organ;, zation kept a close check on their class mates and tradition violators were re ported to the Order of the O who held a weekly trial in front of the library each Thursday morning and upon con viction offenders were meted out their just punishment by the lettermen. Fro-tra-co members also took an active part in carrying out the president’s (Continued on page three) WOMAN'S LEAGUE TO MEET DEAN FOX WILL TALK TO OIBLS AT 5 O’CLOCK FRIDAY Sponsor-Sponsee Dance Date Changed To October 22; Committee .

BASEBALL PRACTICE BN BOHliER GIVING FIRST AUTUMN WORKOUTS HERE New Batting Gage to be Installed, and Aggregation Who Can Hit Developed Beginning with fall practice, now being held for the first time in Ore gon history, Conch George Bolder has started conditioning aspirants for next season’s baseball teams, both varsity and freshman. Practice at the present time is limited to batting and bunting; but ns soon ns tho rainy season starts, Coach Bolder intends to add sliding practice to the schedule. In order to permit batting practice through the rainy months Bolder is having tho old grandstand on Kincaid field made into a model batting cago equipped with a slanting floor arranged so that no matter in which direction the ball is knocked it will roll back to tho pitcher’s box. When finished the cago will bo 65 feet long, 14 feet wide and 17 feet high. Tho entire cago will bo covered with wire netting stretched so that no matter how hard the ball hits there will be no rebound. The cage will be open the entire college year, and the men jnay practice at any time. About 40 men have signed up for baseball and among them are many of the vets of both last year’s varsity and frosh nines. The coach expects a larger turnout in the spring as many of the baseball men are now out for football. Coach Bohler has found that many of the last year’a men hgye been plav ing with the bushers this summer and have deve!9p$
